Across 24 developed democracies, there is a systematic pattern whereby economic crises tend to disproportionately favor the right. Even when center-right parties preside over a crisis, voters often drift further rightward to nationalist parties rather than defect to the left.

Not really surprising. When times are tough, people worry less about being kind to others and become necessarily more selfish. They are also frustrated and angry about things they cannot control. The right gives them targets for their anger, and gives them the illusion of control.

The right gives them nothing in reality, because no actual solutions are given just further descent into inequality, oppression, intolerance and injustice.

The far right world is cruel and unsustainable because ultimately, people want to live in a fair, free society that isn't based on authoritarian oppression.

Any studies to back up your claims? Because I don't think mao's china, Pol pot's cambodia and Stalin's USSR were far right. Sure Hitler and mussolini wer far right but to me itseems cruelty and unsustainability isn't limited to the far right.

It's ok to have ideologies but don't treat ideologies as science because they aren't. They are just bunch biased opinions.
